Addiction

“Fatal Addiction” is a compelling title for this story, and a nice play on words for ‘fatal attraction.’

Serenity (Tanka) 2008-03-25 09:52:16 Earth’s most perfect spot
wings, serenity and peace
victor over pain
deep belief in love prevails
vicious dragons will be slain
Hello Friends,
I composed the above Tanka for a friend of mine a while back. She needed a place to curl up and to find comfort. Since we live several thousand miles apart, I could give her comfort only in [...]

Living in Limbo 2008-03-25 08:44:29 He thought he had made up his mind,
just as he thought dozens of times in the past.
Make a decision, then stick with it.
The old adage echoed through the canyon of his mind.
Damned if you do,
damned if you don’t,
was his halfhearted reply.
Comfortable existing numbly in limbo,
attachment had become a powerful [...]

Excerpt from second book in the series: Amber Shadows and the Crystal Locket 2008-03-24 10:50:08 Foreword
“She’s living the life of an ordinary fourteen-year-old!” was not what many would say, or even think of saying in passing conversation about AmberShadows
. For you see she was an extraordinary White Magic witch-in-training. Flowing, dark red hair caressed her oval face, her eyes of emerald enchanted those curious about her, and one [...]

I’m always asked what my inspiration is for a given play. 2008-04-02 09:41:02 At every talkback, reading or performance I’ve ever been to I get asked what my inspiration for a given play is. It’s always
a challenge because who can describe what the genesis of a thought is… or dream for that matter. And in my case I often wonder if the two are interchangeable.
Unlike some dramatists, [...]
My novel on the Ellen Degeneres show! 2008-04-01 09:08:01 I was tickled pink, a little embarrassed, and laughing hysterically when on March 31st, while shooting in Orlando Florida, Ellen
Degeneres went to a pool, found an empty seat, picked up a novel
on a table - and it was MY book, FALLEN ANGELS.
Ellen looked at the cover and said, “Oh, this is a good [...]
The Best Poem 2008-04-01 08:36:03 Within the vanguard where thoughts marry ideas,
and substance materializes from a void in space.
And from this marriage words come to life
and are born free to express themselves.
Listen to the sounds they make
as they dance along on a white page.
How they conjure up images
inside the readers mind.
Poems often have double meanings,
or can be interpreted differently.
Giving the [...]
My Baby Sisiter has Leukemia 2008-03-31 21:49:45 The news declares a wreck on I-15
A three-alarm fire and impending storm
An Amber Alert shows a missing child
And my baby sister has leukemia
My daughter wants help with training a horse
My granddaughter needs a bedtime story
And hugs and kisses and tucked into bed
And my baby sister has leukemia
There are bills to pay and chores to do
I [...]

Scent Of Adoration 2008-04-04 09:54:25 Is it the spring air teasing my nose?
Could it be tulips growing in rows
of reds and yellows pleasing the eye
or mother nature awaking in spry?
Would a fragile maple tree’s bud
carry such incense for my eyes to shut
or does the delicate leaf of a pansy
distribute aroma like a feathery tansy.
A breeze – so weightless [...]

Beyond Understanding 2008-04-03 21:55:45 Beyond understanding, in
Theatres of hardihood and hope,
Where ideating YOU in warm
Glowing candles, reclining nude
Along threadbare silhouettes,
Became a raging obsession,
Eye, the willing potter, with
Yearning hands, determined
To enshrine what makes
YOU
YOU,
ME,
A warrior with his sword,
Hoping to transcend the fetters
Of reason and fear to espouse verdant
Fields of cumbered fragrances where
Colors coalesce [...]

Bygones 2008-04-03 21:49:53 How does one let bygones be bygones?
How is it possible to let go of personal hurt and pride,
And put behind them the pain of personal hurt?
How does one release how important they think they are? I don’t see this as such an issue
With casual friendships or superficial acquaintances
But when love has bound the spirits of [...]
EUGÈNE MARAIS: BABOONS, TERMITES, AND THE EVOLUTION OF THE HUMAN PSYCHE 2008-04-03 15:48:08 EUGÈNE MARAIS: BABOONS, TERMITES, AND THE EVOLUTION OF THE HUMAN PSYCHE
Where is the soul of a termite, or that of a man?
“Someone once said that all behaviourism in nature could be referred to as hunger. This saying has been repeated thousands of times yet is false. Hunger itself is pain – the most severe pain [...]
Sea of Life 2008-04-03 10:56:45 Like
Driftwood
He floats through
The sea of his
Life, searching for his lost identity.
Thoughts -
Dispersed -
Scattered like
Shells washed up on
A beach, then quickly pulled out with the tide.
Stones
Smoothed by
Ocean’s ebb –
Hidden beneath
Sand – much like hope – waiting to resurface.
The Familiar 2008-04-06 18:39:53 Frederick, an artist, attempts to escape the memory of his wife’s tragic death by moving to the mountain village of Halo. There he transforms a century old barn into a gallery and studio. He resumes painting, only now, all of the female images he creates are in the likeness of his departed wife. One rendering [...]
The Universe - Solved! by Jim Elvidge 2008-04-07 14:57:36 Did you know that it is impossible to tell the difference between reality and an illusion?
Did you know that it is impossible to tell the difference between “the past” and implanted memories?
Did you you know that we are only 30 years away from technologies that could completely fool us through implanted memories and full-scale total-immersion [...]

Undeniable Loneliness 2008-04-09 20:30:31 Busy lives and filled calendars
an overflowing schedule book
office meetings, family visits
no speed limit on that road you took.
Children raised by day care nannies
produced by parents on the run
scared to miss out on a promotion
you’d rather die than be outdone.
Power lunch down to the minute
got to catch the faster train
hustle through another day
no time to think [...]
Breathless … 2008-04-10 14:48:13 BREATHLESS
In that moment between heartbeats,
When life hesitates, and hoping becomes
An illusion of fulfillment, you appeared as
A lucent mist smiling with extended hands.
Lamenting though, as I was, an epigonic misfit,
Confused, striving, briefly, in so many words,
To shift the eminence of illusory judgment
Across eons of possibilities - you took the time
To transilluminate those things hidden in me,
Those [...]

the click of the lock
on a door as it closes
in your face
then the chain slides home
is
the sliver of light
silence swallows
laughter leaving you out
all night whispers
is
dark torturing dusk
before moving in for the kill
raising gooseflesh
as it follows you to work
and back not seeing not
feeling not

Therapy Session … 2008-04-11 22:29:31 “John, you look really angry today; what’s on
your mind?”
“Oh Doctor … I feel so maligned. People make
fun of me behind my back. They don’t understand
me … they don’t understand how I suffer. I feel so
alone in this world.”
“I see … has this been going on long?
“About two years now.”
